20 times House M.D. was TOO REAL

As a medical student, I believe House MD is the only medical show that actually addresses medicine and is not just drama. Even though, every episode is basically structured the same way and if you binge-watch it, it could get boring since its all the same but so is your life. So, yeah. Highly recommended for Spring Break, if you haven't watched it already.

There are so many memorable moments from this show but these twenty times it was WAY TOO REAL and as medical students we can all relate.

1. When you're told your crush is getting married to an MD

2. When theetas tell you, 'Yar, aik lafz nahin parha. Kuch nahin ata'

3. How you try to please the teacher taking your VIVA:

4. When it is your turn to go to the Paeds Ward:

5. When somebody adds you to a study group on Whatsapp:

6. When your teachers admonish you for giving the wrong answer (or no answer at all):

7. When your patients are too hard to deal with:

8. When you get caught while marking a proxy:

9. When somebody asks, 'How are your bedside manners?'

10. When patients Google their symptoms and tell you they have cancer

11. When your teacher tells you there's a test coming up

12. When non-meds ask you how you deal with medicine:

13. When your friend tells you that you need to start studying

14. When your parents lecture you

15. In an 8 am Lecture:

16. When your friend takes exams too seriously:

17. When a ten-year-old wants to become a doctor

"So disappointed in you"

18. When somebody asks, "Parhae kesi jarahi hai?"

19. You ask your patient if they smoke, they refuse to have ever even touched a narcotic but when you open their file it says "Addicted to Chars (Hashish)"

20. Last, but not the least, your love-hate relationship with medicine:

USMLE Step 1 Experience by Ayaz Mehmood (Score : 99/266) Salam everyone, let me start in the name of Allah who’s the greatest benefactor of all mankind. I am going to write a detailed composition regarding preparation for USMLE Step 1. I am a final year student at King Edward Medical University and I took my exam on June 10th. Final year is the year before internship/ house job in Pakistan. I just got my scores: 99/266

Let me introduce some myths surrounding USMLE Step 1 which are especially prevalent within Pakistan; I am not too sure about India because I heard their students typically appear in their final years.

Myth number 1:Do not appear for USMLE Step 1 within your graduation

Verdict: Baseless, illogical reasoning

Explanation: This is so prevalent in Pakistan it’s almost pathetic. One of the biggest concerns surrounding our students is that Step 1 is a huge risk to be taken before graduation. Let me put it in another way: Step1 would always remain a risk whenever it is taken, …

AMC Part 1 by Dr. Asad Khizar Malik (Rank : 77/620) Australian Medical Council Guide - Experience and Tips Salam people, let me start in the name of Allah who’s the greatest benefactor of all mankind. Hope everyone is doing great. I'll try to write as much as I can for the people who are due to various reasons more interested in joining Australian Hospitals for post-grad training as compared to the USMLE pathway.

I am a graduate of King Edward Medical University, class of 2004-2010. I did my 6 months house job after graduation in Mayo Hospital, and after that, i gave my AMC Part 1 in November, 2010 from Brisbane. With the grace of Allah, I passed that in first attempt.

So lets start with the discussion here, but PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS ENTIRELY MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND REASONING WHY I PREFERRED AUSTRALIA OVER USA FOR RESIDENCY.

First thing in mind that comes with post grad training in Pakistani doctors minds is: Which way to go after graduation? That is a very tough decision that is …
